100 Behaviors & Ideas for DOGS on Crate Rest

This video is just to give you ideas of things to do with or for your dog that is on crate rest. You should pick behaviors that your dog is able to do. It will also depend on the type of injury as to which behaviors are best for your dog. Working with your dog while on crate rest will help prevent boredom and give your dog mental stimulation. If you have a dog like mine that is used to a lot of physical exercise, doing games and tricks in the crate help engage the dogs mind. This will help them be calmer in the crate and will help with the healing process. These behaviors will help alleviate stress, boredom and frustration. When Twix had his first and now his second herniated disc surgery, he was not able to walk and needed to be in his crate for most of the day, especially when I was not able to watch him. As he improved, he still needed to be in his crate because he is a very energetic dog and could possible injure himself again. So, I continued to have him in the crate when he was not being supervised. Doing tricks and behaviors with him have helped him be calm when I am not able to be with him or when he is on his own and sleeping in the crate. I feel that doing fun things with him makes his time in the crate more enjoyable. I did not create these behaviors, they are all pretty common and have been used by many dog trainers. I hope that you will spend time working with and teaching your dog to do many of the behaviors in this video. Alpha Stimulation: This is a machine that helps to stimulate the nerves.
